FME Flow Automation parameters changing by themselves

I have an automation which has a few workbenches which are SQLExectutors that gather parameters and write to automation writers. There are then workbenches which consume these parameters and use them for processing.. In the automation setup I assign the parameters to the incoming attributes. This process runs weekly. It runs successfully but occasionally it starts failing, when I go into the automation it is failing because these parameters have reverted to their default values. I have to re-assign them back to attribute values. How is this happening by itself? This process isn’t being touched by anyone else and will run successfully for months. This is in FME Flow 2023.2.1

looking for installation architecture suggestions

Installing FME flow for the first time. Looking at it from IT perspective, not an FME user myself. Current users are using FME Form on Windows, and I’m upgrading this FME Flow server. We have very low load, but growing and so I’m moving our “operations” from under a user’s desk to our data center. We mange a lot of Windows and Linux systems, but prefer Linux when there’s a choice, and Linux is genuinely fully supported by vendor. Initially I thought it had to run on Windows do to ArcGIS jobs which apparently requires Windows ESRI DLLs. But upon closer read of docs, it appears that a distributed install allows all components on Linux except engine(s) for ArcGIS jobs. While I lean toward Linux, I also favor simplicity and eschew unnecessary complexity, and obviously a distributed install is more complex, but depending on the specific software, more complex doesn’t necessarily mean that much more work. I don’t however need fault-tolerantAny recommendations? Windows single-system

Fitview when writing to microstation dgn

I am using FME to write to microstation DGN. The FME workbench file is using the fanout option to write different areas to the microstation DGN file, based on the same seed file. At the moment I have to use a microstation macro to "fitview" of each produced file in order to have the microstation file centered at each specific area. I rather use only FME to avoid this additonal step.Is there a way / transformer in FME to save the microstation file centered in the written data?

Can Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) write metadata?

Hello all,I have succeeded in building a workspace that Reads from Oracle and Writes a fileGDB that includes metadata for the feature layer in the fileGDB. I used an XMLTemplater to achieve this.I am successful when I use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb)However, I would prefer to use the Writer Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)But when I substitute this Writer, it fails to include the metadata for the feature layer.Is there some setting that I am missing?Or is this functionality just missing from the Open API Writer?

Finding matching records between two datasets based on a specifed attribute

Hello Forum, I need to find the records from one dataset where the value in one of its attributes is the same as the value of an attribute in another dataset. For example, If I have two datasets (A and B) I want the output to show which records in A have shared value in B, based on a specified attribute. I want the output to be a selection of A. Something like this… I’ve tried Matcher, but that didn’t work for me. Thanks,Stuart

ArcGIS Online Writer - Restoring a feature service when error encountered

I’m a newby to FME.I’m about to write workspaces to refresh a list of AGOL feature services. So far I’ve written a simple one that works on a small service.I’ve got a few questions.When I search for potential pitfalls in this forum, they are 5+ years ago and relate to AGOL time outs and also issues updating large datasets. . I’m on the latest release of Form & will use Flow (Hosted). Are these issues still relevant these days ?My largest dataset is our Cadastre being about 140K features. Am I safe to use the Writer ? I am doing truncate & inserts. One might argue that I could use ChangeDetector beforehand, however, I reckon the processing required to compare 140K features would be greater than a simple truncate & insert. (am I right?) If an error is encountered, I would like to quickly restore the destination feature service back to what it was. Any tips on the best approach to doing that ? My idea is to copy the destination service elsewhere in AGOL before commencin

Writer configuration for Excel

I have an excel file with 100 records (100 rows) with 5 columns. I have a process that will filter one record to update one column field called ‘Last Update’ in that particular record row. So The column ‘Last Update’ for that 1 record should be updated and the rest of the 99 records will remain the same. Keep in mind that the one record being updated, only one column is to be updated which is the Last Update column and the rest of the columns fields will remain the same. How can I configure the FeatureWriter?I currently have the following set in the FeatureWriter Parameters and in the configuration but this does nothing. The excel sheet looks the same as before with all 100 records the same and the one record that Im looking to update does not have the Last Update column updated. If I do an Insert, it updates that one record column ‘Last Update’ but the rest of the 99 records are deleted, which I don’t want. So the Insert is not working for my purpose.Thank you.

Reader aborts reading complete data set, but workbench continues to run. Can I have the workbench fail when this occurs?

I have an FME workbench that runs every 10 minutes that reads from an ESRI Feature class in a SQL database. Once in a blue moon I get the following warnings.Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. This feature, and any other feature from 'xxx' that cannot be read, will be skipped. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147154945'Unable to retrieve feature from table/feature class 'xxx'. Aborting reading from table 'xxx'. The error number from ArcObjects is: '-2147216010' Yet the next run 10 minutes later has no problems. When this occurs I want the workbench to stop rather than proceeding with the incomplete data set. Is there a way to force a termination when this happens?

Another parameter bug

Ok,So we are still using FME flow 2023.2. And its been a while since making those choice parameters. So I thought I would make one to select environment. So the display settings is important to be short and cool, while the value can be long and hard. so I published the workspace as a datastreaming service, and thought for sure my param value should be that of the display values. but no, datastreaming wants my full grose value as an input. This is so annoying, is this fixed in 2024 version? and where is the bug report form?I dont like negative posts, but I have no choice now..

I’ve been dabbling in the latest release of FME Form 2024 for a little while now and I’m just not getting the benefits of the new look, specifically the removal of colour from most icons.I could go into personal reasons why colour helps myself with attention to detail, concentration and focus but I’m just wondering if it’s possible to get a classic look while utilising any new functionality.

Extracting workspace metadata

Hi, I’m working on automating our FME workspace deployment on Azure Devops using the functionality in pipelines. One thing I would like to automate is to extract metadata about every workspace pushed to the repository and write it to a README.md file. With such a file placed next to every workspace it would be easier to navigate our repo. I would like to see basic information like workspace name, description, number of transformers etc.What’s the best way to extract this data? I have tried using python to read the .fmw text directly and using the FME workspace reader with partial success. Has anyone else done something similar or have ideas?

Translation successful 0 Features output

I am attempting to create a workbench to read, process, and convert IFC and 12dxml files into gdb files (multipatch and basic respectively. The output for the IFC/GDB Multipatch is working properly and is set to a dynamic filename without issue. However the output for the 12dxml only runs when targeting a specific location (can’t set filename dynamically) and even then it returns a message saying that 0 features were output. I am fairly new to FME and have not been able to determine why this is failing, short of the possibility that the writer is trying to write polylines and getting information in as polygons, which I am unsure how to fix. I have attached the rather voluminous log on the chance someone is able to point me at the particular error I need to fix.

List all feature classes and their subtypes, and domain values from a geodatabase

Hi, It seems there is no easy way to do this from what I have read on this topic. I really wish for a way to extract coded domains from feature classes in an SDE geodatabase. I don’t even have to have the field names since I have named the domains after the featureclass, subtype and field it is attatched to. How can I get a hold of domain lists within FME? The point for me is to regularly be able to pull out lists of the options my users have in different fields since these need to be looked over now and then.
